Advantages: free, customisable, reminders, colour indicators

Disadvantages: none

I have been using Digiguide for about a year now and am please that is keeps on getting better with so many good features being added all the time.

Digiguide is completely free and can be downloaded from www.digiguide.co.uk. It is funded by advertising, but I don't even notice it because there are only 2 small banners.

One of the best features is the ability for Digiguide to remind you when your favourite tv show is on by displaying a warning and you can select a sound file to play as well!

With Digiguide, it is so easy to search for shows in seconds or shows starring your favourite actor and actress.

You download 2 weeks' listings from the Internet, which only takes a couple of minutes, depending on how many channels you have selected. Then you can broswe the listings offline.

Another great feature is that you are able to get more information on a show by clicking on the show and connecting to the Internet.

Although I still use the free TV guides in the Sunday papers, Digiguide is extremely useful because while I am using my PC I often forget to watch a show, but Digiguide has changed all that.

You can customise the colours of Digiiguide and you can select which channels you would like listings for. I am pleased that Digiguide offers almost every, if not all, sky, digital and cable channels as well as the terrestrial channels.

I would like to see Digiguide incorporated into VCR's so you couls simply select the shows that you wish to record and your VCR will do it automatically.

A must-have piece of software for television addicts and one of the best pieces of software you can download. A big thankyou to the makers of Digiguide for always finding new ways of enhancing this wonderful product.
